CBD Chocolate Hearts
Ingredients:
- 1½ oz. Cacao Butter
- ½ oz. Raw Cacao Powder
- 2 Tbsp Powdered Sugar
- ½ oz. Milk Powder
- ½ gram CBD Isolate
- Pinch of Sea Salt
- Medium Saucepan
- Heat-proof Bowl
- Heart-shaped Candy Molds
Recipe:
- Set up the double boiler by adding a few inches of water to a medium saucepan. Top with a heat-proof bowl that is slightly larger than the circumference of the pan.
- Make sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat.
- Chop cacao butter into small, even pieces and add to the bowl. Whisk gently but often to reduce the risk of scorching.
- Once completely melted then sift in the cacao powder and milk powder and stir to thoroughly combine.
- Add the powdered sugar and mix until smooth and combined.
- Turn off the heat and remove the bowl from the pan, mixing in the CBD Isolate last.
- Leave to cool for a few minutes – just enough to slightly cool down. Pour the mixture into the candy molds and leave it to set.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to eight weeks.
